Cathy's Kale Chips

Kale!


Kale is one of those amazing greens that can be cooked in a thousand ways and somehow always tastes different and exciting. Filled with vitamins A, C and calcium this green is something you just can't live without. One of our CROPS members here at Wolfson campus, Cathy Anthofer, sent in this recipe for Kale Chips - a healthy alternative for the regular potato chip and pretty easy to make.

I made Cathy's recipe the other day and was surprised by how much it actually tasted like a regular store bought chip. The crunchy green chip was quite a hit! Many members have commented that the Kale chip has substituted store bought snacks.

Cathy's Kale Chips



May be made in a food dehydrator or oven.

For oven: pre-heat oven to 350


Wash and dry kale. Chop into chip sized pieces, cutting away stems. Place on a baking sheet, and liberally brush olive oil on all pieces. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake until ends begin to curl and pieces are dry to the touch. Eat like chips, tastes like popcorn! (Baked kale retains all of its nutritional value!)




Enjoy!
